Submitting the Applicat​ion​

Time is crucial in submitting your applications; the earlier you apply the better. It is always a good ide​a to complete your applic​ations in advance before a school's deadline. This allows you time to address any problems that may arise during the submission of your materials. Please check the Law School Admission Council website for individual school deadlines.

Remember, your application is not complete until all the required items have been received by the school. Applicants are advised to carefully monitor application deadlines and make sure that all application materials have been received by the school. ​​
